 There is no harm in passing additional arguments to action/hook callbacks.
 Why do we force developers to explicitly ask for additional arguments to
 be passed? It is a maximum, and it doesn't matter if the maximum is
 exceeded. We can just pass all the arguments, all the time. Callbacks can
 use them, or ignore them. {{{add_action()}}} and {{{add_filter()}}} can
 lose their 4th argument.

 Ran this by koopersmith and beaulebens, they couldn't find any reasons
 this would be a problem.
